Group Members: Joani Cantrell Casey Goulette Danielle Weare Presentation Date: October 5, 2010 Here is a slide from our lesson we adapted from Notebook 10. You would have to download Notebook 10 to be able to access the lesson: A. What is a SMART Board? A SmartBoard is an interactive white board built by SMART Technologies in 1991. The SMART Board, also known as an interactive whiteboard, is a large interactive surface that uses a touch sensitive system to control a computer; similar to what a computer mouse would do. A projector is used to show the computer's screen on the SMART Board, creating a large touchscreen. A SMART Board uses digital pens with digital ink as the computer input for different writing capabilities, such as handwriting or drawing, just as a traditional whiteboard would use dry erase markers for writing or drawing on the whiteboard. As of today, more than 1.7 million interactive SMART Boards are being used across the globe in: Education, Military, Business and Government. Video
B. Facts or Need to Knows Before Using SmartBoard you MUST: 1. Download, install, and activate SMART Notebook V. 10. To operate SMART Board you will need a computer with SMART Notebook software installed. Install the software on your laptop/ PC. You can download SMART Notebook 10 at: http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/SBS/NBSv10WinEval.htm By going to this website you can get a FREE 30 day trial! Make sure you use the installation instructions provided below. 2. System Requirements:
GHz Power Pc of G4 or G5 processors or Intel processors
512 MB of RAM
250 MB odf free hard disk space for minimum installation (1000 for full installation with Gallery collections)
Mac OS X operating system software 10.4.11 or 10.5.4
Adobe Flash player v10 or later
3. Review basic SMART Board operations. The computer sends the image to the projector. The projector then portrays the image onto the touch sensitive whiteboard. Now you can use your finger, or a tray tool, to do almost everything you can do on the computer. 4. Review basic SMART Notebook software. This software is designed to assist you in creating interactive and collaborative presentations. It allows you to draw or write on the whiteboard, attach documents, and hyperlinks to presentations. 5. Make sure you SMART Board and your Computer are connected so you don't have any issues. 5. Practice using the SMART Board. It is very strongly suggested that you practice using SMART Board and SMART Notebook before using it in front of an audience.

C. How to Create Your Own: You can use SMART Board for all kinds of different lessons in a variety of ways!
You can make your own powerpoint and use the projector to make it appear on the SMART Board.
You can make your own lesson by using blank pages and saving them as you go:
Click on the blank page to the left in SMART Notebook 10 type/ insert whatever you like.
When you are finished right click the page and click insert page.
You can continue to do this until you are finished.
This makes it easier because you can have all of the pages waiting until you are ready to pull them up to begin using them in class.
Many people begin using SMART Board by using lesson plans already made in Notebook 10 and designated for teachers to share by doing the following:
In the tool bar on the left side of the screen click on the tab that looks like a portrait
After doing that click on the link that has an icon of a World, and says, "SMART Exchange"
When the next box appears click on the link that says, "Standard-Correlated Lessons"
After you do this an Internet browser will pop up
Insert Arizona Academic Standards from the Standard drop down box
Enter yours designated grade level in the grade drop down box
Scroll down to Mathematics in the Subject drop down box
Click on the view button and wait for lessons to load
Any lesson that says "View Resources" means that there is a lesson plan available for use
If any lesson plan you click on says "Use Senteo" means that you have to have a senteo, which is a hand held clicker.
If you do not have access to a senteo, you continue to scroll down through the resources you will find lesson plans that do not need them.
Any and all of these lessons can be used! They were made by teachers, for teachers, just make sure you give credit where it's due! D. Examples in “real life”/general uses:
The SMART Board could ideally be used any time a presentation was to be given especially in the business world because during a meeting it could be used to take notes and make changes to what is being discussed.
E. Classroom/Learning Uses: Specifically Math: - Provides a visual way to grasp concepts, such as percentages, fractions, volume - Weight: scales that interact when objects are dragged on it - Drag objects back and forth to show subtraction/addition - Interactive and visual geometry lessons i.e The Geometer's Sketchpad - Downloadable math tools for smart notebook software 1. Teacher Uses - Teachers love using SMART Boards because of the way it gets their class engaged. - It is very easy to use and gives hands on learning experiences for students.- Notebook 10 provides many pre-made lesson plans categorized by state standards that are very useful in classrooms.- Great class collaboration. - No need for messy markers, and no artistic ability necessary!- When using a SMARTBoard, most teachers understand how to use technology better and it enhances teaching abilities. 2. Student Uses - Using a SMARTBoard enhances student interest and participation. - When students use the SMART Board, they are more involved and engaged in lessons. - They may have more success and higher achievement when using something they enjoy.- Students can create their own lesson/ reports and show them to class. - Unlike a regular white board, the SMART Board promotes use of technology and fun and engaging activities for students of all ages. And many many more reasons below! 3. Possible differentiation for Special Needs/ELL students (if you can think of any) Extra Credit: - SMART Board is a great tool to use for special needs students. Because it is so hands on it provides easy to use lessons that help these students. Also, it has audio capabilities that speak aloud when you touch objects. The SMARTBoard is also beneficial to students with special needs because the keyboard can be made larger on the touch screen. The SMARTBoard also has the capability to decipher handwriting. For example, if a child writes the word "CAT" on the SMART Board and it is barely legible you can use the finder, right click the word and more often than not, the SMARTBoard will know what the word is supposed to say and you can change it so it can be read legibly.
